RAYNHAM — The Raynham Park development group, including Greenwood Racing CEO Tony Ricci and Raynham Park owner George Carney, went through their final public meeting on Monday night as they enter the final lap in the race for the state’s sole slot casino license under the Massachusetts gambling law.

The meeting was brief, lasting about 15 minutes, and featured some parting words by members of the Raynham Board of Selectmen, before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission goes into 30 days of deliberation before deciding which of the state’s three applicants will receive the slot parlor license.

“It’s a big milestone,” said Massachusetts Gaming Commission member James McHugh. “This allows us now to get on to the business of actually deliberating and thinking about and talking about the applications. After we close this hearing, we close the last of the hearings tomorrow night. Then it’s a 30-day period before we can make a decision.”

Gambling commission member Gayle Cameron said she expects the sole slot license, which allows for 1,250 slot machines but with no table games, will be awarded during the last week in February.

The 30 days of deliberation will start after the state gambling commission holds its final meetings with the other applicants on Tuesday, McHugh said. The other two applicants for the slot application are Cordish Companies with a site in Leominster and Penn National Gaming with a site in Plainville.

While not much information was delivered at Monday night’s meeting, the meeting was necessary to kick off the 30 days of deliberation, which was a requirement built into the licensing process.

Raynham Selectman Richard Schiavo commended Raynham Park for completing all its surrounding community agreements within a short time frame.

“I thought the entire spirit was consensual, collaborative and it says a lot that the surrounding communities were very supportive of the Raynham Park casino,” Schiavo said. “The fact that every one came to an agreement in such a timely way spoke a lot to that. We are happy that it benefits the surrounding communities and we feel that any benefit they get will enure to us.”

Schiavo also said that the Greenwood Racing “Parx Casino” group and Raynham Park have a “synergistic” quality that will serve them well.

Tony Ricci, the Greenwood Racing CEO, said that he was happy that the slot license award decision is nearly here.

“We’re pleased the process is moving along and now we are anxious to see that we’re named the winner,” Ricci said. “We feel we have the best application, we’ll get the most revenue for the state, we have the best location, the best team, the highest level support in our host community and we’re paying the most benefits to the surrounding communities. ... I feel we made a great case and clearly in our mind we are the choice.”

Raynham Park came to a $1.1 million annual host community agreement with Raynham, which was approved by 86.1 percent of town voters last summer. Ricci has said that the development group would invest $227 million into a slot casino, at the site of the Raynham dog track, which has been without greyhound racing since the practice was banned by a statewide vote in 2008.
